Chen Yun Hao was a renowned Pu-er tea house established in Manla, owning half of the tea gardens in the mountains. Chen Yuncheng, the founder of Chen Yun Hao, insisted on using raw materials from non-oak trees, inventing the definition of "premium-grade" Pu-er teas. Chen Yun Hao have their own mule and horse caravans for sourcing the best raw materials, earning a good reputation that rivals Yiwu's Tong Qing Hao and Song Pin Hao, representing the best from south and north respectively. Chen Yun Hao are very rare, and they are classified among the top five antique tea brands along with Song Pin Hao, Tong Qing Hao, Tong Xing Hao, and Fu Yuan Chang Hao, making them highly popular. The remaining Chen Yun Hao features unique designs on the inner tickets, reflecting their distinct qualities in tea leaf selection, blending, and flavor profiles.
